I Told You So: Gore Vidal Talks Politics Interviews with Jon Weiner OR I Told you So: Gore Vidal Talks Politics Interviews with Jon Weiner OR Books www.orbooks.com Q. Could you tell us about your formative political experiences? What was the process by which you became a radical? A. I don’t know how I did. I was brought up in an extremely conservative family. The British always want to know what class you belong to. I was asked that on the BBC. I said “I belong to the highest class there is: I’m a third generation celebrity. My grandfather, father, and I have all been on the cover of Time. That’s all there is. You can’t go any higher in America.” The greatest influence on me was my grandfather, Senator Thomas Pryor Gore. That’s his chair. Not from the Senate. From his office. He was blind from the age of ten. He would plot in that chair. He made Wilson president twice rocking away in that thing.! Q. He’s denounced by Teddy Roosevelt in Empire.! A. Yes. T.R. didn’t like anything about him. But T.P.G. was only 36, I think, when he came to the Senate. He was a Populist who finally joined the Democratic Party. They all did. He helped write the constitution of the state of Oklahoma, which is the only socialist state constitution. He was school of Bryan: anti-bank, anti- Eastern, anti-railroads, anti-war. Also anti-black and anti-Jew- what they now call nativist. But he was not a crude figure like Tom Watson or the sainted Huey. He was a very literary man. So his prejudices were all low-keyed, except the hatred of the rich and the banks—because farmers suffered at the hands of capital that was in the East. They had no capital; only land and lousy crops. He was a tribune of those people. As he got older he got more and more conservative; later he wrote the oil depletion allowance. But he was honest personally. When he died, he was far from being a millionaire, which most Oklahoma senators are—with the exception of the sainted Fred Harris. Q. I gather you were not on the Left as a young man. A. No. I was very much on the Right. I was a practical politician. This is very hard to describe, particularly in a journal like yours, where ideology and political thought matter. They don’t care if you are brought up in a political family, with every intention of being a politician, which I had. There’s no such thing as ideology. You have, as the Marxists would say, a structural response to things. You have class responses, which, as a kid, I was not about to start analyzing. But I thought of the world in practical terms. I knew how politics worked, which the theoreticians and the people who learn about politics in school never quite grasp. I knew that it didn’t make any difference what your positions were, the game was power. I was, to use the boring word, pragmatic. That’s how you get elected. My first political activity: I was America First at Exeter when I was 14. My guru in Washington was Alice Roosevelt Longworth, who was a maniac on the subject. I knew a lot of the leading America Firsters. I did not see why we should go into a European war because I saw it in terms of the First World War, and I still believe we should never have gone into that war, which my grandfather nobly opposed. Of course we didn’t know anything about Hitler at the time—I’m speaking now of 1939 and 1940. In 1941 it all changed. The Japanese attacked us and I enlisted in the army at the age of 17 as a private. Q. What happened between your America First days at Exeter and your work on the national security state and the American empire in the 70s? ! A. I suppose it was an evolution. In 1948 I wanted to go into politics and I was all set to establish residency in New Mexico, whose governor was a good friend of my grandfather’s; I would have been put on the ballot as a presidential elector in the 1948 election, and, as I have an Hispanic name—although my family is from the Alps—plus help of the governor and his machine, I was all set to start out and have a conventional political career. But I’d written The City and the Pillar, which described the life of a young man who was gay. Now I must make a decision: am I going to publish this book and get into a lot of trouble, or, shall I suppress the book and go out to New Mexico and settle in Santa Fe and, in due course, go to the House and the Senate and whatever might happen. I made a decision. I think that is what we call a radicalizing decision.! Q. Then you would say sexual politics played a part in your radicalization?! A. It played a crucial part. You see, my first two books had been greatly admired; the New York Times thought I was wonderful. Q. So you were not prepared for the response to The City and the Pillar.! A. I knew it was going to be rough. Luckily, being brought up in a public family I could handle that rather more easily, I think, than somebody who is shy. Q. What do you mean, it was “rough?”! A. You must remember I was highly praised at 19 and 20 for the first two books, particularly the first one [Williwaw]. That was one of the first war novels. There were four or five of us young war lions, and we were the toast of the country. Then I published The City and the Pillar and I hardly get a good review in the United States. I’m totally blacked out for my next five books by the New York Times. The daily reviewer said he would never read, much less review me again, and five books went unnoticed by him, by Time, by Newsweek. I had been demonized. Once you’re a demon in our society you are ignored until you, somehow, become unavoidable. Then you are trivialized. I had taken on the whole establishment of a pretty rustic country and said “Fuck you, you’ve got sex all wrong.” Thus, I found my role. I exist to say, “No, that isn’t the way it is,” or “What you believe to be true is not true for the following reasons.” I am a master of the obvious. I mean, if there’s a hole in the road, I will, viciously, outrageously, say there’s a hole in the road and if you don’t fill it in you’ll break the axle of your car. One is not loved for being helpful. So my radicalization begins with The City and the Pillar. When I was blacked out, I saw the powers of censorship in a free land and that made me a little cynical about freedom. I was told by Harvey Breit of the New York Times—a good friend of mine, he was number two at the book section—that “anything you publish will not be reviewed in the daily and you’ll get a bad review on Sunday. Why don’t you do something else or write under a pseudonym.” So I did both. I wrote Edgar Box books in ‘52, published them over the next years. Q. What is this?! A. Edgar Box: three mystery stories that were very successful, published in every language. One of them is out again in Italy this month. Rave reviews in the New York Times. Twenty years later I brought them out under my own name and the Times slammed them. But that wasn’t enough to live on. Then in 1954 Messiah, the best of my early books, came out; it was barely reviewed here. I was getting a fine press in England, and other countries, but nothing in freedom’s land. So I went into television. Although the New York Times still didn’t like me, they didn’t take television very seriously and it doesn’t make much difference whether you got a good review or not. From ‘54 to ‘64, I wrote television; I wrote movies; I had two hit plays back-to-back on Broadway, which is fairly rare. Lester Markel, who ran the Sunday section at the Times, was so affronted by the success of my play The Best Man that he called up four different writers to write an axe job. One of them was Richard Rovere; Murray Kempton was another, and finally, Douglass Cater wrote a tepid piece. From ‘54 to ‘64 I made enough money for the rest of my life, which gave me an independence that the John Updike Chair of Quality Lit at Rutgers would not. In my busy decade I wrote, I think, l00 television plays, about 12 movies, three Broadway plays, and started writing essays. In my long, roundabout way, I’m answering your question. After The City and the Pillar, the next radicalizing thing was Joe McCarthy, watching the blacklist in operation. I wasn’t directly affected because I almost never joined anything. I was also the wrong age to have been a Communist, and probably the wrong class as well. If I had been ten years older I might have been a Communist, but I wasn’t.

  • Lincoln: a Novel (Narratives of Empire, Book 2)
    ACCLAIM FOR GORE VIDAL’s LINCOLN “A brilliant marriage of fact and imagination. It’s just about everything a novel should be— pleasure, information, moral insight. [Vidal] gives us a man and a time so alive and real that we see and feel them.… A superb book.” —The Plain Dealer “Utterly convincing … Vidal is concerned with dissecting, obsessively and often brilliantly, the roots of personal ambition as they give rise to history itself.” —Joyce Carol Oates, The New York Times Book Review “An astonishing achievement.… Vidal is a masterly American historical novelist.… Vidal’s imagination of American politics, then and now, is so powerful as to compel awe.” —Harold Bloom, The New York Review of Books “The best American historical novel I’ve read in recent years.” —Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., Vanity Fair “[A] literary triumph. There is no handy and cheap psychoanalysis here, but rather a careful scrutiny of the actions that spring from the core of Lincoln himself.… We are left to gure out the man as if he were a real person in our lives.” —Chicago Sun-Times “Lincoln reaches for sublimity.… This novel will, I suspect, maintain a permanent place in American letters.” —Andrew Delbanco, The New Republic “Vidal is the best all-round American man of letters since Edmund Wilson.… This is his most moving book.” —Newsweek “It is remarkable how much good history Mr. Vidal has been able to work into his novel. And I nd—astonishingly enough, since I have been over this material so many times—that Mr. Vidal has made of this familiar record a narrative that sustained my interest right up to the final page.” —Professor David Donald, Harvard University GORE VIDAL LINCOLN Gore Vidal was born in 1925 at the United States Military Academy at West Point.

The many ways contemporary queer readers and critics have invested pre-Stonewall writing and images with romance or nostalgia or distaste all point to the funny communicability of shadow-relations and secret emotions across time, as if they acquire heft only in the long term, where the difficulty of the problems they want to solve (like historical isolation and suffering) can emerge in their full intractability. Christopher Nealon, Foundlings, 2001 I don’t have to wonder whose group I’m in today. Certainly the people who always think the public problem is theirs are gay.

  • Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and Celebrity Feud Guy R

For further information contact the UOW Library: [email protected] 'Just a couple of fags': Truman Capote, Gore Vidal, and celebrity feud Abstract This article argues that the long-running feud between the two celebrity authors Truman Capote and Gore Vidal indicates a crucial shift in the an ture of literary celebrity from the 1940s to the 1970s. At its commencement, the feud was about competition for literary fame and the respective literary talent of the two authors. It thus indicated the seriousness and the prestige that American culture accorded literature and how American literary celebrity differed from other forms of celebrity in its emphasis on what Loren Glass calls 'individual authorial consciousness'. But as the decades passed, literary achievement was increasingly sidelined by entertaining one-liners issued by one writer against the other on TV talk shows and in the press, indicating the diminution of literary seriousness that is concomitant with the absorption of literary celebrity into postmodern media culture. I contend that Capote and Vidal's divergent embodiments of homosexual identity were inextricably related to this shift.

  • Gore Vidal Grew up in an Environment of Wealth and Privilege but Earned His Place in American History As a Social Critic and a Popular Writer of Historical Ction
    Gore Vidal grew up in an environment of wealth and privilege but earned his place in American history as a social critic and a popular writer of historical ction. Eugene Louis Vidal was born at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point on October 3, 1925. His father was an aeronautics instructor at the Academy, while his maternal grandfather was U.S. Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma. Eugene received the “Gore” name in a belated christening ceremony in 1939. After his father joined the Commerce Department in Washington, Eugene often acted as Senator Gore’s guide and reader. From his grandfather Eugene acquired a lifelong interest in politics. As an author, he used Gore as his rst name to honor the Senator. It also made his name more distinctive. Vidal attended elite prep schools in Washington and became a skilled writer and debater. Rather than attend college he joined the Army in 1943. After Photo courtesy of David Shankbone serving in the Aleutian Islands, he became one of many young authors competing to write the best novel about World War II. His rst novel, Williwaw, was a war story set in the Aleutians. It earned great reviews when he published it in 1946. In 1948 his third novel, The City and the Pillar, shocked readers with its portrayal of homosexuality. For the next decade, his novels received little attention and sold poorly. Vidal suspected that powerful reviewers were out to destroy his career. In the 1950s Vidal found other ways to earn a living by writing. He published mystery novels under the pen-name Edgar Box.

This paper mainly examines the character of Mary Ann Singleton and the “queering” of her character. The writings of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, Adrienne Rich, Eve K. Sedgwick, and Simone de Beauvoir are vital in understanding how a straight woman journeys onto the lesbian continuum as a revolt against gender roles (defined by Butler and Beauvoir) and as a result of her friendship with Michael Tolliver. Michael's character provides a discourse (as defined by Foucault) on homosexuality and through this discourse, he provides a contrast to the dysfunctions of compulsory heterosexuality in Mary Ann's journey.
